Nowadays Science is developing to much and each and every person is relay into it. Science have been using in so many sectors, Such as Tech, Non-tech, Hospitals and many more. It has power that it can give a person healthy and wealthy life. I am agree with this statement beacuse, We all are depanded on it. The cellphone and research in space was possible with help of science.
These days, Individuals are connected with their smartphone. This single device has control to connect the entire world. This creation was only possible with help of technical persons. They learn how to create circuit and combine it in a single device that created a phone. After that they research how to connect entire world with this device then they descover about satellite. Satellite is invisiblly connected with device and so that we can communicate with other. Main perpose of smartphone was that to stay connect with your loved once.
They know about outer gallexy and work on that. To reach there they loange rocket. For creating rocket they have to know about basic physics, applyed physics beacuse by using every law we can create this. This is such a big deal to create beacuse they have to go in other planet. For example, there are so many scientists who were gone for research.Sometimes when they return from there and came in earch orbit that time rocket blast with air pressure. For that we design in a way that it can hendle aetmospheric pressure.
In conclution, I would like to say that this can help us in so many ways and develop so many thngs that is useful for use. In, future also they descover more about space and other things.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5
The response addresses the prompt by discussing whether science should primarily aim to improve people's lives and provides a clear, albeit simple, personal position in agreement. The writer attempts to support this viewpoint with examples such as smartphones and space research. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat limited and occasionally shifts off-course into general technological descriptions rather than focusing directly on the prompt's core theme of improving human lives. There is a tendency to over-generalise, and explanations lack sufficient depth to reach higher bands. Overall, the task is addressed adequately, but the arguments remain rather superficial and require more comprehensive extension.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into four paragraphs, showing a basic attempt at structuring an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by abrupt transitions and weak cohesive devices. For example, sentences within the body paragraphs, such as 'They know about outer gallexy and work on that,' lack smooth referencing and contextual links. Paragraphing is attempted, but the grouping of ideas is erratic, particularly in the third paragraph which abruptly shifts from satellite communication to space rockets. Cohesive devices are used mechanically and sometimes inaccurately, making the overall flow disjointed in places.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary used is generally basic and repetitive, with frequent reliance on everyday terms like 'things,' 'make,' and 'good.' There are noticeable attempts to use less common items such as 'atmosphere,' 'satellite,' and 'physics,' but these are often undermined by spelling errors ('gallexy,' 'loange,' 'applyed,' 'descover,' 'hendle,' 'aetmospheric') and awkward word choices ('relay into it,' 'rocket blast with air pressure'). While the meaning is usually retrievable, these lexical limitations and frequent spelling inaccuracies restrict the score to the lower intermediate range.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writing demonstrates a mix of simple and attempting complex sentence forms, but control over grammar is weak. There are frequent errors in subject-verb agreement ('Science have been using'), articles ('in earch orbit'), prepositions ('relay into it'), and tense usage ('scientists who were gone'). Punctuation is basic, and sentence boundaries are sometimes blurred. Complex structures are often faulty, leading to frequent errors that occasionally cause difficulty for the reader and require extra effort to decipher the intended meaning.
